Project Summary

For United Way, we created a film built around four scenes inspired by familiar childhood icons, each one showing characters struggling with sadness. A blocky game robot, a cereal box mascot, a popular action figure, and a TV unicorn all come to life through a mix of 3D and 2D. The project highlights that many children face emotional challenges and United Way calls for support to help change their reality.

The dream team behind the gimmick.
